Hmm.. I've known a lot of people looking for fastback S13 240sx's as opposed 2 the regular ones. I think the fastbacks look terrible in comparison. Does any1 else agree? Also is there a meaningful reason to prefer fastpack models? Is it aerodynamicially superior or offer anything that the others dont?

i just think that the coupes have a more family car style to them oposed to the fastbacks + after you do some suspension tuning and get a good set of rims on the fastbacks that have a awesome stance *see the video with Koguchi drifting his black 180sx* I like that version of his 180 the best...:worshippy

What're you talking about man?!?!?!??! Fastbacks are so much better then coupes. Personally I just like the look of it and no I don't think it's ugly.

same here dood. cold shower in 5 minutes.

hey, that URAS kit is lookin pretty sweet, dont think i've ever seen one.

there should be alot better selection of rear bumpers.. i think they look too ugly or have too much of a tail or look almost stock which doesnt match the rest of the body kits that are out..not even the ones they come with.

i want something like the new viper gts has.. something with those rear under spoilers/canards that allow it to look cool and be functional at the same time, and reduce resistance due to trapped air without putting those civic mesh bumper holes that make everything look 100x ricier and uglier.

i think the asthiyima kit has em, but its a shit job whoever did it.

I've got one word for 2tone coupes UGLY the coupe doesn't look bad once you put on a kit but 2 tone looks nasty on any car, who thought of that idea anyways?

and how could you for get this one!

I think coupes are nice looking too......

they just need a few things to bring them to life...

Red/White solid tail lights clearcorners.com would be nice.
like a bomex wangan style wing or such
new front bumper

it'd be pretty slick


of course you always have the Silvia conversion as an option, and that looks badass on a Coupe.

if you want to see a sexy One-Via Coupe, go to www.drft.co.jp and check out their teal green D1 One-Via. i would post the pics myself, but they're too big. it's my favourite car at the moment, and i have it up as my wallpaper right now.

i think coupes can definitley look sexy. i totally prefer fastbacks, because i'm an absolute Sil80 nut, but if i had the chance to get a coupe for a good price, i would buy it in a second and build an S13 replica.

Hey, I'm not looking for an argument, I just have a diff opinion and was looking for advantages that dont have to do with looks,mynismo- do you have any pics?

You have to admit, some do look good... Stock, most s13s arent the best things to look at but with a little work, they can all be spiffed up

yes slix. go to http://members.cardomain.com/mynismo

i want 5300 firm for the car w/o the tires, if you want tires and rims i'd take 6000. brand new tires, only about 5000 mi on them. they cost $180/ea, rims cost $600. all the other info is at my cardomain page.

edit: you guys think i should put it on ebay or sell it locally?

slix

mynismo-thats a reeeally nice 240. I'd consider buying it is it was manual but I'm currently not looking for another automatic. I'd say you'd probably get more for it if you put it on ebay, or maybe autotrader.com .

mynismo
07-06-2003, 08:20 PM
that's cool... if you wanted you know you can convert it to a manual... just drop off this car to your mechanic with a junker 240 with a stick and it will cost around $600 for labor. :cool:

i think i'll put it on autotrader, ebay doesnt bring in the $$ for 240's

thx for the tip.. good luck sellin ur car, what are you planning to get after its gone?

mynismo
07-07-2003, 12:15 AM
i was thinking of getting a nice red pathfinder, or a honda passport. honda's do make very good cars.... can't deny that.

but im still not sure if im gonna sell the 240 yet.... arg..... i want to get rid of it but at the same time its so fun to drive and look at. what a dilemma.

I think coupes look 100000 times better than fastbacks. I can't stand the fastbacks, I don't know why.

to each its own, i like both, although i have the fastback, and i think its better, i still think the coupe is pretty damn cool with the silvia front end,

they are both excellent cars

Some day in the future I'll have a coupe to compliment my fastback:bigthumb:

all you need to have a 240sx look better is a set of springs and some 17" ers.....

everything else is just goddy and to personal taiste.

ghostchild316, the second one from the bottom of your tower of pics of fastbacks, the blue 240sx, what year is that?

ghostchild316
07-13-2003, 05:29 PM
I cant tell you the exact year because it has a body kit...But this car was made in japan so its a kouki model judging by the tailights:smile:
